Nigeria’s Falconets commenced their campaign at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup on a winning note, courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Korea Republic in their Group D clash on Monday morning.
Flourish Sabastine netted the decisive goal four minutes from time, with substitute Chukwuamaka Goodness Osigwe providing the assist.
The girls played gamely and successfully warded off the Koreans, particularly in the second half.
With the victory, the Chris Danjuma-tutored side sit in second position in the group with three points while former champions, Germany, occupy the top spot of group on goal difference after beating Venezuela 5-2.
The Falconets’ second game is against Germany at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo, Bogota on Wednesday.
